This is an old post but I wanted to re-write it and include it again as this was my first time abroad since I was twelve.

I went with my university to Amsterdam for four days, taking the ferry over to the Netherlands, but I had a friend flying from my home city to meet me. I had never been on a ferry before, until then, and I never want to go on one again. I was fine until the morning, but then when I woke up I was so seasick.
